Hunter Biden's lawyer 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: says he will change his plea to guilty in his 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: federal tax case, could see him avoid a trial and 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 2: head straight to sentencing, which obviously would be good pr wise. 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: Biden's accused of not paying about two point two million 21 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: New Zealand dollars in federal tax over four years The 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: indictment says he spent the money on drugs, escorts, girlfriends, 23 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: luxury hotels, and rental properties. In short, it says everything 24 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 2: but his taxes. Job openings in the US have fallen 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: by around two hundred and thirty thousand to a new 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: three and a half year low. 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: The labor market is loosening up for employers million, six 28 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy three thousand job openings in the month 29 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: of July, but it is down from seven million, nine 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 3: hundred and ten thousand on a revised basis. 31 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: Still awaiting a decision from the Fed on whether they 32 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: will cut interest rates, which is due later in the month. 33 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: Broadcaster and psychologist Nigel Latter has revealed he's in a 34 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: battle with stomach cancer. He's fifty seven years old. He 35 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: posted on Facebook he's going through chemotherapy. It's working well 36 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: and the tumor has reduced in size, but initially he 37 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: was given a diagnosis of six to twelve months. 38 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 4: He said, look, it's inoperable because the tumor has spread 39 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 4: out kind of too far through the stomach line and 40 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,919 Speaker 4: it's also incurable. 41 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: The News you Need this Morning and the in depth 42 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: Analysis Early edition with Ryan Bridge and Swift City, New 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: Zealand's furniture beds and a plying store. 44 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 5: News talks that'd be there. 45 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: Was a shooting near my house last night. I'll tell 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: you about that soon. The BAYSI and this is the 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: super yacht in Sicily. Our new news overnight on the autopsies. 48 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: So four of the seven who died died of what 49 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: they call dry drowning or non typical drowning. Now we 50 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: might be thinking, what is that. There's no water on 51 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 2: the lungs, there's no water in the stomachs. From the autopsies, 52 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 2: it suggests that they found an air pocket in the 53 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: boat as it went down. In the cabin they found 54 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 2: an air pocket consumed all the oxygen. The air turns 55 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: toxic due to the carbon dioxide, and that is how 56 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: they believed that at least four of the seven who died. 57 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: There was no physical injuries on any of them, no 58 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: broken bones, nothing like that. So they we'll have more 59 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: about that news. I'm sure just gone nine after five, 60 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: Ryan Bridge last night on the news, and you could 61 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: even see headline about it this morning. North Korea flies 62 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: balloon over prime Minister's motorcade. You're like, wow, North Korea 63 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 2: has targeted Luxon. He's visiting South Korea at the moment. 64 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: What an amazing thing. 65 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 6: No sooner had our interview finished. 66 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 4: Appreciate it, thanks Ben. 67 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 6: Then this North Korean trash balloon flew right over the 68 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 6: top of his motorcade. 69 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: So it just happened to be over the top of 70 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: his motorcade. They weren't targeting Luckson's motorcade. They sent about 71 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 2: two hundred balloons over yesterday, apparently because they there's the 72 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: little tip for tat that they have. One of them 73 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: plays music, the other scends balloons with trash and feces 74 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: and all sorts of fun things in it. So anyway, 75 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: for those who thought that Christopher Luxon had been the 76 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: target of a balloon flyover by North Korea, it was 77 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: more circumstance. Just gone ten after five, Ry and Bridge 78 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: very hard to sort out what's going on in France. 79 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: I think they're having a bit of a hard time 80 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: figuring out what's going on in France. You know that 81 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 2: they had the election. She was two months ago, which 82 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: is when I started doing the show, which the first 83 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: thing we talked about was the French election. Done that. 84 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: Now Macron has picked his Prime Minister and it is 85 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: the man they call Monsieur Brexit, Michel Barnier. I'm probably 86 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 2: saying it wrong anyway, he's right wing, he's from the 87 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: Republican Party. So two months after the snap election, finally 88 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: he picks his guy. And now whether he gets a 89 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 2: vote of confidence from MPs from politicians is crucial. So 90 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: he needs to get the support of enough a majority 91 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 2: in order to actually stay in the job, keep the job. 92 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: And then they've got a budget coming up. He has 93 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: to have a draft in by the first of October. 94 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: What a stupid system. So he's got three weeks at 95 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: most from when he is appointed to when he has 96 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: to have a draft of his first budget for twenty 97 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: twenty five. That's going to like it's enough. You know, 98 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: it's going to be a good enough time to prepare, 99 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: isn't it. Nine two nine two is the number to text. 100 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: Just gone eleven minutes after five, we're talking Judith Collins 101 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: and her plan for our space defense. 102 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 5: Next, the First Word on the News of the Day 103 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 5: Early edition. 104 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: With Ryan Bridge and Smith City New Zealand's furniture Beds 105 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: and a play at store News Talk Zippy. 106 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 2: We'll get Vincent mcavinie to give us an update on 107 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: the French Prime minister, the new French Prime minister who's 108 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: been appointed overnight. That is coming away just after the 109 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: news at five thirty thirteen after five Now, New Zealand 110 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: has accepted an invitation to join the US lead multinational 111 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: space initiative, Operation Olympic Defender. It's about defense, it's about 112 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 2: deterring what they call hostile actions in space. The US, 113 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: the UK, Canada and Australia all part of the group. 114 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: Judith Colins says, we'll deploy a defense Force liaison officer 115 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: to the US Space Command and Colorado for the next 116 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: two years. Doctor Maria Potza is a lawyer and international 117 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: space law expert, and she joins me this morning. Good 118 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: morning to you. 119 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 7: What a right how are you? 120 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: I'm very well, thank you. Tell me how serious the 121 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: threat is a defense threat from space or in space. 122 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 7: Look, there's always threats in space, but those threats tend 123 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 7: to be posed mainly by space debris, so as opposed 124 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 7: to the hostile nature that you speak of a little 125 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 7: bit earlier. Look, we don't have huge threats of that 126 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 7: nature to be terribly terribly concerned about. It is though 127 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 7: the sustainability and space debris that we're seeing a rise of. 128 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 7: That does make us a little bit more concerned when 129 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 7: we think about threats because of course, if you've got 130 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 7: a lot of space debris in space, then you've got 131 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 7: a problem of accessing space. Now, NASA and there's a 132 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 7: couple of other organizations around the world do monitor space 133 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 7: debris particles, but we need to have clear pathways to 134 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 7: space and order to get assets up there for both 135 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 7: military purposes, commercial purposes, as well as human exploration. So 136 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 7: I'm hoping that that helps a little bit, because that 137 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 7: is what so this is focusing on. 138 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 2: This is like rubbish collection. 139 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 7: Well, hopefully we'll get there soon. But the really important 140 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 7: thing about this program and us joining this program is 141 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 7: it's not just about safe, responsible, secure use of space. 142 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 7: It's about sustainable use of space and resilience of the 143 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 7: space structure. So it's much much more than just the 144 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 7: one idea. 145 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: Right, how many pieces of space junk are up there 146 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: A good question. 147 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 7: I have no idea, but there's a lot. 148 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: So someone told me it was more than more than 149 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: half a billion pieces. Will that all be from us? 150 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: Things that we have put up there and that are 151 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: flying around and how do you how do you go 152 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: about cleaning up space? 153 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 7: All right, look, big, big complex questions. First of all, 154 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 7: because we know exactly I haven't had coffee yet, so 155 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 7: I'll do my best. Look, I wouldn't know exactly how 156 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 7: many pieces of space debrusy there are floating us up there, 157 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 7: because we've got something called the Kesler syndrome, and that's 158 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 7: whereby you've got one piece of space debris that could 159 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 7: collide with another piece of space debrary and cause lots 160 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 7: and lots of more space debris, and it becomes really 161 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 7: hard to monitor that new space debrary because of course 162 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 7: most of our suchllites are pointing out the Earth, so 163 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 7: we can make estimations and we can make an estimate 164 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 7: of trajectory of that new space debris and what it 165 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 7: might be and where it's heading to. But that's why 166 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 7: I say, I'm just not sure, because we may have 167 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 7: had lots of collision pieces and they may just be 168 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 7: floating up all around up there. Now you said about 169 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 7: you asked a question about space junk and space debris collection. 170 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 7: I know that there's quite a few nations around the 171 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 7: world looking at this. We've even got a un Organization Committee, 172 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 7: who are looking at the question of and yeah, we 173 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 7: are looking at organized you know, how how we com 174 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 7: mitigate space. Every don't have a crystal ball, but it's 175 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 7: going to happen. 176 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the thing is, if we can't clean 177 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: up the ocean, how can we clean up space? 178 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 7: These are all good questions, all good questions. 179 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 2: So the threat from other countries, you know, the defense three, 180 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: you're saying that that's not such a serious thing, like 181 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: people countries aren't trying at the moment to be able 182 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 2: to hit Earth from space or can they already. 183 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 7: Gosh, again, a lot of good questions there. Whether or 184 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 7: not they have the capability to do so. I don't 185 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 7: think actually anyone knows. But what I will say is this, 186 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 7: our joining the program, the Olympic program, is not necessarily 187 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 7: a response to some imminent hostile threat that's happening at 188 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 7: the moment. What I'm getting at is our joining this 189 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 7: program is a really important step for New Zealand on 190 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 7: a range of issues, and Minister Collins has really got 191 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 7: us going in the right direction when you think about 192 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 7: how we are shirting ourselves on that space stage of 193 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 7: the space faring nation. 194 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: Good to have it good to be at the table 195 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 2: as things get underway, doctor Maria Potts, So thank you 196 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: very much for your time this morning.

This 212 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: is the US election debate happening next Wednesday afternoon at 213 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: one pm our time. By the way, in Philadelphia, ABC 214 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: is in charge of this one, and they were debating 215 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: back and forth about whether the microphones would be on 216 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 2: or whether the microphones would be off. I always like 217 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: the microphones on because then you can get interactions like 218 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: this one with Trump and Hillary. 219 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 5: It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of 220 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 5: Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in 221 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 5: our country. 222 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 8: Because you'd be in jail. 223 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 7: Secretary Quintin. 224 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: Brian Bridge. 225 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, so there'll be none of that. It'll be Microsoft 226 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: while the others talking. Just gone twenty two minutes after five. 227 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: Is it redemption time for the All Blacks? They lost 228 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: against the spring Box in South Africa last week. They're 229 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: playing them again early Sunday morning. Scott Robertson has made 230 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 2: some changes to the squad, you could say, including adding 231 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,599 Speaker 2: the youngest All Black in this year's squad to the 232 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 2: starting line up, twenty one year old Wallace to Titi. 233 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 2: This will be his second test for the All Blacks. 234 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: Kevin Partzer, former Springbok and rugby commentator, he's with us 235 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: this morning. Get Kevin, Good morning, Ryan, good morning. Good 236 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: to have you on the show again. Tell me is 237 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 2: this a bold, brave mood moved from Razor. 238 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 9: I think it is, but it's also necessary. They had 239 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 9: no impact from their bench last week. I guess they 240 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 9: had the option of starting with the same fifteen. But 241 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 9: what they've done is they've brought in the person they 242 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 9: probably looked for a bit of impact on the bench 243 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 9: and they've said, well, here you go, young man, have 244 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 9: a go, and they put him wrong right from the start. 245 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 2: Some people are saying this is the start of the 246 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 2: real start of the Robertson era, where you know he's 247 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: setting us up for the next World Cup. 248 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 9: Oh you know, he's sort of he's got to play 249 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 9: that hand. Now South Africa have sort of won the 250 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 9: Four Nations competition. Now that opportunity where put away the result. 251 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 9: Now he's got to start shaping and get some real 252 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 9: value out of this. The good news is he doesn't 253 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 9: just need to try and win games to please the public. 254 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 9: He now needs to shape a team that's going to 255 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 9: be good for the future. And you see a young Rasima, 256 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 9: you see tit on the blind side, and people are 257 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 9: joking that it might be the bomb disposal units with 258 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 9: the likes of Barrett. It's coming from the bench as well, 259 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 9: who's an outstanding finisher in any game he's paid previously. 260 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: What about the veterans, if you can call them that 261 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: of the squad. What is the message to them. 262 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 9: Well, I've got to be honest. I think it's a 263 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 9: good message. He's shown you loyalty to have brought back 264 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 9: a guy like Caine and kept them in the squad. 265 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 9: I thought we were very good last week. That is 266 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 9: a very tough place to go and to win, and 267 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 9: we found that out. You can't win. But he's also 268 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 9: very short of personnel. And that, by the way, that's 269 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 9: a New Zealand problem. That's not a Scott Robin some problem. 270 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 9: Very short of person now. And what he's done is 271 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 9: he's kept the nucleus but said right, we've got to 272 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 9: just shape this up for the future a little bit. 273 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 9: There's a few changes. 274 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 2: Kevin, thank you very much for your time this morning. 275 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: Go the abs come Sunday morning. That's Kevin Park, former 276 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 2: Springbok and rugby commentator. It is twenty four after five 277 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: News talksb. 278 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: The early edition full the show podcast on iHeartRadio. How 279 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: It By News Talks be. 280 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: An update for you on the police investigation into those 281 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: meth lollies that were handed out in parcels by the 282 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: City Mission. This is three weeks ago it happened, and 283 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: remember in one single lollie there were three hundred doses 284 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: of methan fetamine. It was pure myth. And the police 285 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: are calling them not actually lollies, but blocks. That's what 286 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: they are. They're blocks of pure myth. So we asked 287 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: them for an update and it's quite interesting what they 288 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 2: have come back with. So Operation Tirade is what they 289 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: call it, and they can account for sixty one blocks, 290 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: so sixty one lollies of meth that were disguised as 291 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: Rinda branded confectionery. If they say this includes thirty four 292 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: blocks that have been recovered by police, does that mean 293 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: twenty seven blocks or lollies are still at large. If so, 294 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: that would be about eight thousand doses worth about thirty 295 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: two thousand dollars on the street. Basically, it means on 296 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 2: the face of it, at least they've only recovered half 297 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: the myth they know about. And then there's the meth 298 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: blocks that they don't know about. Are they on Facebook marketplace? 299 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 2: We saw a report that one of them apparently went 300 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: up there soon after they were handed out, So we 301 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: still don't know a couple of things. One where they are, 302 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: but two who donated them, and why did the person 303 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: know what they were doing or was it done by accident, 304 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 2: and if so, how did the lollies the confectionery get 305 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: into their hands. The police say that they're talking to 306 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 2: the Rinda Company Malaysia. They are being very cooperative by 307 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 2: the sounds of it, but at this stage the mystery continues. 308 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: Twenty eight after five shellicopters hovering above my house or 309 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: around my house. Last night, there was a shooting. This 310 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: is near Western Springs Park. You know you might have 311 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: gone to a concert there and someone was well. A 312 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: couple of people were shot. They reckoned, multiple injuries and 313 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: one person died, which is very sad, and family were 314 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: outside crying and grieving the loss of their loved one. 315 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 2: Lots of this lately. It feels like anyway. There was 316 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: the one granddad in the van in Packardanger just a 317 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago who was shot. Still haven't found 318 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: who did that? Still no idea, I wondered, is it 319 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: that it's happening more often or are we hearing more 320 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: about it because we have alerts on our phones and 321 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: things like that. I guess we'll find out when the 322 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 2: stats come out. But in the meantime, it does feel 323 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: like there's an awful lot of that going on, especially 324 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: when it's close to home. Twenty nine after five, we're 325 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: going to go to Vincent mcavenni. After the news.

He's 503 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 6: hoping to put an end of the two months of 504 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 6: paralysis and deadlock in France. The right the Marine La 505 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 6: Penn says that she will wait to see whether or 506 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 6: not he can do that, what his platform will be. 507 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 6: The left though, aren't happy with his selection, but we'll 508 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 6: see whether or not it will get France going again 509 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 6: after this sort of stalemate they've been in and this 510 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 6: sort of truth that they've had through the Olympics and 511 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 6: the Paralympics. So the Paralympics they've set to end, of course, 512 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 6: in the next week, so it'll be back to school 513 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,239 Speaker 6: in France and we'll see whether or not they can 514 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 6: get their parliament back up and running. There are some 515 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 6: rumors circulating that perhaps President Macron might simply throw in 516 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 6: the toll, resign and potentially trigger a fresh presidential election 517 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 6: a few years early in order to try and wrong 518 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 6: foot Marine Lapenn and the far right in the hope 519 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 6: that they might not be prepared yet for that race. 520 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, that would be a big move, wouldn't it. 521 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 2: It's either you let the fire far right in and 522 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 2: you include them somehow, or they're probably eventually going to 523 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 2: take over, aren't they, whether it's now or whether it's 524 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: in two years. That's Vincent mcavinio. U can you're a 525 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: correspondent just gone eleven away. 526 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: From six Ryan Bridge the. 527 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 2: Government's making it easier to import a bigger range of 528 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 2: building products. It is fifty percent more expensive to build 529 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: a standalone home in New Zealand than it is in Australia. 530 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 2: Now Minister Chris Pink he's introduced legislation that will open 531 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 2: up the market in theory and bring in more competition. 532 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 2: But should we be worried about faulty products being led 533 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 2: in leaky building et cetera. Building Industry Federation Chief executive 534 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 2: Julian Lasers with me this morning. Julian, good morning, Good 535 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 2: morning Ryan. What products do we need a better range of? 536 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 8: Well, it's interesting, I think was what the goverment has 537 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 8: identified is they can look for equal or equivalent standards 538 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 8: where there are costs concentrations in construction. So they're looking 539 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 8: for products such as internal linings, external clannings, windows, plumbing 540 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 8: products and insulation and because that's where often some of 541 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 8: the you know, the biggest costs are and that they're 542 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 8: going to focus on those things. And for example, Watermark, 543 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 8: which is an Australian certification, has I think two hundred 544 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 8: thousand products that are certified that meet our building code. 545 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 8: Those sorts of things will be you know, able to 546 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 8: be brought into the market and and provide much more choice, 547 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 8: and there should be little risk of not betting our 548 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 8: building code. 549 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 2: Right, So if it's good enough for the Aussies, it's 550 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: good enough for us. When you say little risk of 551 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 2: not meeting our building code, is there a chance that 552 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: these products might perform differently here than over there? 553 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 8: Well, it's a great question, because of course it's not. 554 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 8: You know, products are never just they never just act 555 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 8: in isolation in a building that we know. Building systems 556 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 8: based on the performance of many different criteria. So if 557 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 8: you take a wall, you know that's made up of 558 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 8: a frame and trust insulation, class board, ventilation, all that 559 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 8: sort of thing. Yeah, I think I think the devil 560 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 8: is always in the detail our would be as I regulate, 561 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 8: it's going to have to be very clear in what 562 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 8: those standards are, and so they, i think, will only 563 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 8: peck standards and products specifically from those of trusted overseas 564 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 8: jurisdictions that are as close to our kinds as possible. 565 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 8: That's the only way they can avoid any trouble. 566 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 2: Julian, is this going to shift the dial in terms 567 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: of how much a cost to build a home in 568 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 2: New Zealand a standalone home being fifty percent more expensive 569 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 2: to build here in Australia. Is it going to shift 570 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 2: the dial? 571 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 8: I don't look, I think it's going to shift the dial. 572 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 8: The building materials made for about twenty percent of the 573 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 8: cost of a house overall. I think it will certainly 574 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 8: reduce some cost and bring those costs down over time, 575 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 8: which is what we're all aiming for. You know, anything's 576 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 8: better than nothing, right, so if we can get more 577 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 8: choice and more competition, that that's going to be good. 578 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: Thanks for your time this morning, Julian Lay's Building Industry 579 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 2: Federation Chief Executive. It is eight minutes away from sexy 580 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 2: on News Talk said big coming up next, which labor 581 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 2: MP is calling Christopher Luxen an idiot. 582 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: Ryan Bridge New for twenty twenty four on early edition 583 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: with Smith City, New Zealand's furniture beds and a playing store. 584 00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 5: News Talks, it'd be good. 585 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 2: Morning, Welcome to your Friday six away from six. Remember 586 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 2: when Shane Retti and the Prime Minister came out and 587 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 2: said there were fourteen layers of bureaucracy between the Chief 588 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 2: Executive and the patient and they made a big announcement 589 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 2: and they said there was an organizational chart to back 590 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 2: it all up. 591 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 4: Well, the advice I've been given is fourteen, fourteen layers 592 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 4: of management. I think there's other cosignals of corporate services 593 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 4: and things that may or may not have been included. 594 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 4: But I just say to you, as obvious to anybody, 595 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 4: go talk someone of the system and find out how 596 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 4: bureaucratic it is. And it's incredibly bureaucratic. 597 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: It turns out the organizational chart and it doesn't exist, 598 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 2: never existed OaaS have been done. Reporters are in a 599 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: half as you can imagine, as is the opposition. In fact, 600 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 2: Aisha Verral says that the Prime Minister was made to 601 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 2: look like an idiot by Shane Letti, by his minister, 602 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 2: quite strong language from her. The thing is, this is 603 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 2: a bit of a ber story because it's essentially right. 604 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,239 Speaker 2: It may not be fourteen layers of bureaucray. I think 605 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 2: it's twelve. And just because they don't have a chart 606 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 2: showing that it's true, it doesn't mean it's not true. 607 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: I would have saved my idiot torpedo for something a 608 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 2: little more consequential. I would have thought five minutes away 609 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 2: from six now, Mike Costking is here next. You've got 610 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 2: Razor on the show today? 611 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 12: Yeah, no, don't you love Razor? Oh? Okay, okay, So 612 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 12: Ryan Bridge doesn't like No, it's not that I don't 613 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 12: like it. 614 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 2: I love him. 615 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,719 Speaker 12: I think he's a genius, do you Yeah, I do. 616 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 12: I think he's a people person. And the fruition of 617 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 12: that will be when we win the next World Cup. 618 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 2: Well, I hope you're right, and hopefully this is day 619 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 2: one squad naming, is day one of a new era? Well, 620 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 2: the year has begun. 621 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 12: I mean you can argue, you can raise the record 622 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 12: against four and two so far, two losses out of 623 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 12: six games. If we win this that makes it five 624 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 12: and two. 625 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 2: But it matters less how many we win now, right, 626 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: this is about metting up for the future. 627 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 12: We lent this a number of cycles ago, and that 628 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 12: was it really doesn't matter what happens. Is like, it's 629 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 12: nice to win the Bledislow and the Rugby Championship and 630 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 12: all that stuff, but as long as we win the 631 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 12: World Cup, that's really all the camera. 632 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 2: Because when we win the World. 633 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 12: Cup, you forget about all the other stuff. 634 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 2: Now it is about a world chance, mind you. 635 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 12: It's a it's a it's a baptism of fire, isn't 636 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 12: it mean? When you're in South Africa one you got 637 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 12: a loss, so the pressure is on. 638 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 2: You'd be feeling it, wouldn't you. 639 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 12: Have you seen there is at dinner at the moment, 640 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 12: by the way, that's really right now is at dinner, 641 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 12: and you'll be thinking, jeez, I hope this week's well. 642 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 2: I hope, I hope it does.
